Doug Wheatley

(Canada)

As an artistic teen growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Doug Wheatley pursued various art courses in high school including commercial art, and was mentored by an older professional artist named George Freeman. Soon Wheatley found himself working on comics full-time for various companies when Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley contacted him to see if he would be interested in creating a cover for 'Star Wars Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil'. In addition, Wheatley has since illustrated covers for issues of Empire, and worked as a penciler with Paul Chadwick on the 'Star Wars Empire: Darklighter' series. Besides 'Star Wars', Wheatly has done artwork for comics like 'Space Patrol' (his first comic), 'Superman: Last Son of Earth', 'Superman: Last Stand on Krypton' and 'Aliens: Avenging Angels - Apocalypse', as well as comics featuring 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Blade the Vampire Hunter', and 'Conan'.
